She has served on a variety of non-profit boards, including Bozeman Summit School, Montana Center for International Visitors, Federal Defenders of Montana (public defenders for the federal courts in Montana), and the Yellowstone Park Advisory Council. Susan grew up in the Netherlands and Washington D.C., and graduated from Brown University with a B.A. in Classics, and Stanford Law School. She enjoys fly fishing, skiing, and hiking with her husband, daughter, and two Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
